"Is it true that depressed people are more lucid? Do we need to be a little simple in order to be happy? Does a thing such as intelligent optimism exist? Can we learn how to be an optimist? What's the meaning of doing so? " INTELLIGENT OPTIMISM" answers these questions that many people ask in their lives in an accurate way. María Dolores Avia and Carmelo Vázquez offer in this book a set of data and reflections that will allow seeing the healthier, more adaptive and more creative aspects of people, even in hostile situations."

A great book from a great author - Carmelo Vázquez - with a big relevance in the area of Positive Psychology worldwide. A realistic vision about a theme that is sometimes focused on a too idealistic perfect way or on an exaggerated negative way; optimism focused under an intelligent, tangible, pragmatic vision, applied to the professional, personal, health worlds, among others.
